This is a great book. It's specifically written for teens, but I sure enjoyed it as a light read. I liked the themes that were spread throughout the book and little clues hidden along the way that kind of came together at the end.
I loved this movie and would recommend it to you without reservation. It deals with the hardships that the Mormon pioneer handcart companies faced as they crossed the plains to the Salt Lake valley. It illustrates their faith and the miracles that occurred because of that faith. The stories were based on true events as recorded from the journals of those crossing. This is really a great film, with great acting. It's not your typical documentary film about these events; it really drew you into the story and made you feel as if you had been there.
We enjoy watching clean, uplifting movies together. We have found that sometimes it's hard to find movies that meet these standards.
